[812]Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell):I am advised that only one judge, a judge of the Supreme Court, is due to retire within the next 12 months on reaching the maximum retirement age. While in the past six months a number of judges have retired on reaching the maximum retirement age, no judges have tendered their resignation during this period.
